Does this only happens when you have the wheel hard over? This is fairly common with large tires on RWD vehicles under that circumstance - the front tires are turning in a radius that is shorter than the rear axle can accommodate, so the rear essentially pushes the front tires forward instead of them following the full curve. Does that make sense? For good measure I would have the alignment checked to make sure that all is well. And ask them to show you the measurements - just because they fall in factory specs doesn't mean that all is well, especially if right and left are not identical. If that checks out though, check your wheel wells to make sure there are no signs of rubbing. If not then I wouldn't worry about it.
